This just in: the German government has classified the Model T as a "classic" automobile
Hey it still works and does it's job it was designed to do. The problem with driving in a model T is that you can't easily get a mechanic, manufacturers support or spare parts if something breaks down or you want to like want to install a new modern sound system for example. Like with the floppy disk the real problem is that they can't upgrade it very easily and make compatible with the upgrades that is ten tech generation ahead of the existing systems, not that it's old per se.
This is how a lot of military tech is. The radar i used in iraq was using punch codes and a rotating map drum when i was gaming on diablo in my hooch. If it works and is compatible with NATO standards you don’t usually replace it.
